There is an Italic Records, actually. Decidedly not lowercase/microsound.
May digital disco save the day! :-)

There's inevitably a big debate every few weeks about "lowercase" vs.
"microsound" vs. "microscopic" etc on the microsound list, also hosted
through hyperreal. In fact many of those names appearing in the Wired
article are frequent (some infrequent) list-posters. Taylor Deupree, Stephan
Mathieu, Steve Roden, Akira Rabelais, Bernhard Guenter..... these are all
fairly well known figures within the genre. All of them produce work that's
worth looking into if the genre/movement/whateveryouwanttocallit interests
you.
The Wired article only skims the sound/genre, although I personally think
it's good to see a more mainstream publication (i.e., not The Wire) devoting
some space to what is still a fairly niche and/or relatively obscure sound.
